[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 615206, member: 1726"] More on the story. [b]MAN WHO FIRED GUN PROTECTED BY FLORIDA LAWS[/b] [i]Chris did not have a concealed weapons permit, but he was protected by two other laws that allow drivers to carry guns in their cars and allow gun owners to start shooting if they witness a violent felony. "He reacted in a reasonable way," Larry Anderson told Eyewitness News on Tuesday. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with what the bystander did. Anderson runs Shoot Straight, a gun range in Apopka. "He did what he had to do to stop somebody from getting killed," Anderson told Eyewitness News. In Florida, it's perfectly legal to have a gun in your vehicle if it's secured in something like a holster or in your glove compartment. Eyewitness News checked and found out there's also another law on Christopher's side based on his version of what happened. Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, enacted three years ago, states a person can "meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to him or herself of another person to prevent a forcible felony." At least one customer shopping at the Kangaroo convenience store disagrees with the law and believes Christopher could've stopped the suspected robber without pulling the trigger. "That's kind of scary that anybody can just walk up and blam, blam, and you're done," Jeff Harrison said. Anderson believes an increase in similar crime scenes is possible as a result of people trying to protect themselves and others. He's seen a significant increase in the number of people practicing at the range and securing permits. "You honestly can't feel safe unless you live in a cocoon," Anderson said.[/i] [/QUOTE]
